My husband is a real meat-and-potatoes guy and could eat the same thing every day, but not me! So I've come up with different ways, including this recipe, to use those main ingredients.
'Our family lives and works on a ranch,' remarks Ronna Lewis from Plains, Kansas. 'I like to fix this nicely seasoned casserole ahead of time and freeze it for later use. It's good with a tossed salad or nacho chips and dip.'
A quick layered casserole with tuna, cheese and egg noodles. Experiment with different cheeses and soups to develop your own family recipe! For variety, add chopped celery, peas and/or carrots.
'Serve this stick-to-your-ribs dish with a green salad and dessert for a complete meal,' suggests Peggy Key of Grant, Alabama. The creamy mixture of hearty ham and tender potatoes is brimming with homemade flavor.
This is an old family recipe for the dumplings, which were originally Polish egg noodles (kluski), and over the years I have modified it to make homemade dumplings. The broth is seasoned with basil, allspice, and poultry seasoning.
A creamy filling of chicken, sour cream, and cheese gets an added 'kick' stirred into it with Pace(R) Picante Sauce. Rolled up in tortillas and baked until bubbly, these enchiladas couldn't be easier or any more delicious.
A few twists on the usual version, this recipe adds a touch of curry and cheddar to the broccoli and mushroom cream sauce. Assemble and freeze for an always-ready-for company entree.
